I wanted to write a witty note about energy politics in Europe quoting Mark Renton’s famos “choose life” speech…. but, we didn’t choose life. Unlike Mark, we didn’t choose heroin either. We chose suicide.
(Unelected) Politicians traded decades of cheap Russian gas for expensive American LNG and called it “energy independence.”
Now our industry flees while we pay 4x more for energy than our competitors.
At least Mark had a way out.
